Where's Cubin

WASHINGTON - Wyoming Representative Barbara Cubin has missed almost half of all House votes this year.  She says she's been forced to stay away from the Capitol due to her husband's illness, the recent death of her brother, and her own broken foot last month.  Cubin says it's been an extraordinarily difficult year for her family.  Her husband, Doctor Fritz Cubin, is scheduled to undergo another surgery at the medical center this week.  Doctor Cubin has long suffered from an immune disorder and has been hospitalized repeatedly in Casper this year, often in critical condition.  Representative Cubin has missed 427 votes this year, roughly 45 percent.  That's the third highest percentage in the House and the two representatives who have missed more votes than she has are both dead.  Cubin, who was first elected to the House in 1994, says she is frustrated by rumors that she may not seek re-election in 2008.  She says that at this pint, she absolutely intends to run again.
